Come one, come all.

There is no more pleasant way to transition from summer into autumn than to do it while curled up with a good book...although I guess I am biased. Anyway, to make said transition even more enjoyable our friend the artist/sculptor/poet/gardener, Jesse Van Horne is offering a free Kindle edition of his philosophical treaty on perspective and indoctrination, Your Own Eyes from right now through Saturday, September 24th. Just click on the link below!

﻿If you're not busy in the early evening of this coming Saturday (Sept 10) then head over to Luke & Company on 430 Broadway for our first attempt at a 2nd Saturday art party. There will be some very talented artists on hand to immortalize your pets (the venue is a very stylish pet supply store), sell you some rad artwork as well as jewelry. If nothing else, come for the wine and mingling ;)

Cellar Door will also have some wares on hand including the famous/infamous buttons as well as a couple of chapbooks and some art prints.

Hey all. I know this is really short notice but if you are around a computer or smart phone with internet capacity tonight you should watch my friend, Jonathan Alexandratos's play that he created while he was visiting talent (dignitary? artist in residence) in Nashville. It will be streaming at 6 o'clock PM our time.

I've said enough. Use the time I could say more here to finish what you need to finish so you can check out this play.

Jesse Van Horne (author, poet, artist, and landscape designer) has written a book about carefully examining indoctrination in our world. He encourages his reader to discover what their own lenses (the way they see the world) are and what it means that they are there. Stay tuned for a full review in the days to come (in the ART IS LIFE section).

From RIGHT NOW (Tuesday April 27th at 5pm) until midnight tonight you can get this book for free by clicking the button below.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a write-in at the Denver Art Museum with my rad librarian friend, Emily. We tracked a small pack of creatives (don't try that at home kids, we're trained professionals!) up to the fourth floor. In the midst of the Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial gallery we were tasked with finding relics that spoke to us in some manner that we might do a twenty minute free writing. In this case the subject was Gods & Monsters - right up my alley - but were told to experiment at will by the charming fellow leading the exercises. It was so much fun and productive as well. I spilled out pages of notes on both new stories and new characters and elements for the world I've been creating for a good while now. I highly recommend trying this at any museum or really anywhere that strikes your fancy (whether guided or by your lonesome). Anyhow. To make a long contest description short. Thanks to my librarian pal, Emily who spoiled me with a museum membership, I was able to return to the scene today where I also snapped a picture of the piece shown above.MY CHALLENGE TO YOU! Write a short piece (story, poem, entertaining vignette) that is 300 words or less and send it to CellarDoorBooksLtd@gmail.com by the 26th of this month. There will be a prize that I may (or may not) choose to announce before the deadline. The submission will also be printed in Pale Crow or another publication of ours.​ May the best imagination win!

﻿An amazing artist in Denver, Thea Jovie Hunt, is doing a $5 character sketch sale today. You do not want to miss out on such HUGE talent for so little dollars. Do not miss out! This sale ends at midnight tonight!

Here's a Link!​

Make sure we don't have to say "you should have been there" about all the rad events we'll be throwing through the end of this year. We'll be starting out even stronger in 2016. You can always check out the pictures in the gallery on the home page...but really? Do you want to be that guy?
